            The last time i took my car out for a spin with out a muffler i got three construction workers popping up from the side of a truck kinda like weasels then a guy in the condo community came running outside in his boxers yelling at me. :?

            Otherwise the car was loud.

              maybe what you guys think is loud is different to me.. I used to drive a 67 dart with 40 series flowmasters. now that was loud. ;)

              I took it to redline without my muffler.. it sounded nice but I still didn't think it was very loud at all. maybe the ix has a different center resonator?

                    Yeah, god damn that was fun. We got yelled at by a neighbor telling us to slow down because her kids were playing in the front yard.
                    This was at my house out in the middle of nowhere.

                        The funny thing is how slow we were going, it just sounded like we were racing it down the street.

                            I did that to my car too when I dropped in my 2.8i. Sounded like a muscle car, hehe.

                            Glad to hear you can finally drive your car. Keep it shiny side up. :up:
